We live in and love a broken and beautiful world.

Hello, fellow seekers, mourners, and fighters.
​
It was unseasonably warm and now it is desperately cold. And in some cities, horrendously ICE-y.

Climate change offers us a lesson in impermanence. It also provides an opportunity to learn who we are, how we want to learn, and where we might best use the energy we must steward in order to endure these fascistic, violent times.

We cannot solve all of the problems on our own but in conversation with the more-than-human world we might access the imagination we need to work together.

If this sounds interesting to you, I will have another small companioning group starting in March (via Zoom) through The BTS Center:

We live in and love a broken and beautiful world, and we are not meant to carry that love alone. We find ourselves at the edges of systems—religious, political, and ecological—that are beleaguered but could be lifegiving. Walking these wild edges, we find like-spirited seekers, and together we hold the big questions of vocation, calling, and journey.

I will also be co-teaching a class on poetry and the Biblical prophets but that is still in the works.

Thank you for all that each of you are doing to feed and nurture the great web of all life so that all may live.
